Keeley Hawes Thriller 'Crossfire' Will Arrive on BritBox In November
Though most Americans are probably familiar with the work of actress (and likely future Dame) Keeley Hawes from either the megapopular Netflix thriller Bodyguard in which she had positively smoking chemistry with co-star Richard Madden or the cozy PBS drama The Durrells in Corfu, where she took us on a tour of a picturesque Greek island every week, actress Hawes has been everywhere the past few years. From starring in remakes of classic films (Rebecca) and thoughtful character studies (Finding Alice) to popping up in critically acclaimed dramas (It's a Sin) and buzzy procedurals (Honour), she's basically proven time and again that there's nothing she can't do as a performer.
And she's showing no signs of slowing down any time soon, with major roles booked in shows as diverse as real-life political drama Stonehouse and clone-based science fiction sequel Orphan Black: Echoes that are all headed our way in the next few months.
Or, you know, the next few weeks, as the case may be. Streaming service BritBox has announced that Hawes' latest series, a twisty thriller called Crossfire, will premiere on November 15. The drama, which only just wrapped up its U.K. broadcast, sees traditionally serious performer take on more of an overt action-hero-style role.
